The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude
on life.
Attitude, to me is more important than facts.
It is more important than the past, than education, than
money, than circumstances, than failures, than
successes, than what other people think or say or do.
It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill.
It will make or break a company... a church... a home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday
regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.
We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact
that people will act in a certain way.
We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can
do is play on the one string we have, and that is our
attitude.
I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and
90% how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in
charge of our attitudes
